Tropical Fruit Jellies Recipes

Steps:

• Place 2/3 cup juice in a small bowl or measuring cup and sprinkle with gelatin. Let sit 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine remaining 2/3 cup juice and 1 1/2 cups of the sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, 5 minutes. Add preserves and whisk to combine. Return to a boil and cook until thick and syrupy, 2 minutes. Add gelatin mixture and whisk until gelatin dissolves. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into an 8-inch square baking dish. Refrigerate until set, 3 hours (or up to 2 weeks).
• Place remaining 1 cup sugar in a pie plate or shallow bowl. Cut fruit jelly into 1-inch squares. Toss in sugar to coat just before serving.

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 inch pan with foil. Spray the foil with non-stick spray.
• In a 2-qt. saucepan, mix pectin, juice, and baking soda (mixture will be foamy). In a 3 quart saucepan, mix corn syrup and 1 cup of sugar. Place both saucepans over high heat at the same time, stirring both mixtures frequently. Cook about 4 minutes or until foam thins from pectin mixture and sugar mixture comes to a full rolling boil (a boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred).
• Gradually add pectin mixture to boiling sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minuted, stirring. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in food coloring, if using. Immediately pour into prepared pan. Let stand at room temperature for 4 hours or overnight until firm.
• Sprinkle waxed paper with 2 tablespoons sugar. Invert candy onto waxed paper and discard foil. Sprinkle top of candy with 2 more tablespoons sugar. Cut into 6 strips, then into 6 squares. Add 2 more tablespoons sugar and toss candy to coat all sides. Place candies on a wire rack. Let stand at room temperature overnight. Store tightly covered with waxed paper between layers of candy.
